7 Choral Psalm Cantate Domino Cantate Domino canticum novum; cantate Domino omnis terra. Cantate Domino, et benedicite nomini eius; annuntiate de die in diem salutare ejus. Annuntiate inter gentes gloriam ejus; in omnibus populis mirabilia ejus. (Psalm 96:1 3) Hans Leo Hassler Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all people. First Reading Ezekiel 36:22 32, After the reading: L O Lord, have mercy on us. C Thanks be to God. Choral Response Oh, Praise Our God Heinrich Schütz Oh, praise our God, ye lands abroad, now praise Him, every nation. His tenderness is great toward us to grant us His salvation. His promise true he doth renew, His truth endures forever, With joyous refrain we laud His name and praise with voices ringing. Alleluia! Alleluia with singing! Second Reading John 15:1 11 After the reading: L O Lord, have mercy on us. C Thanks be to God. L In many and various ways, God spoke to His people of old by the prophets. C But now in these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son. 7

11 Litany The congregation s response begins just as the officiant s petition ends so that the word Lord is sung simultaneously. The congregation is invited to sing the response in harmony, with the last note of the response hummed by all as the next prayer bid is sung. L For the peace from above and for our salvation, let us pray to the Lord 11

12 L For the peace of the whole world, for the well-being of the Church of God, and for the unity of all, let us pray to the Lord L For this holy house and for all who offer here their worship and praise, let us pray to the Lord L For Matthew our synodical president, for our district presidents, for all pastors in Christ, for all servants of the Church, and for all the people, let us pray to the Lord L For Barack our president, for all public servants, for the government and those who protect us, that they may be upheld and strengthened in every good deed, let us pray to the Lord L For those who work to bring peace, justice, health, and protection in this and every place, let us pray to the Lord L For those who bring offerings, those who do good works in this congregation, those who toil, those who sing, and all the people here present who await from the Lord great and abundant mercy, let us pray to the Lord L For favorable weather, for an abundance of the fruits of the earth, and for peaceful times, let us pray to the Lord L For our deliverance from all affliction, wrath, danger, and need, let us pray to the Lord L For those receiving their vicarage and internship assignments, that God would bless their preparation for service in His kingdom, let us pray to the Lord The liturgist concludes before the congregation responds: 12

13 Silence for individual prayer may follow. Collect For Peace L O God, from whom come all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works, give to us, Your servants, that peace which the world cannot give, that our hearts may be set to obey Your commandments and also that we, being defended from the fear of our enemies, may live in peace and quietness; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C Amen. Lord s Prayer L Taught by our Lord and trusting His promises, we are bold to pray: C Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen. 13
